VA – North Shenandoah Valley (Front Royal)

Inspired by our experience at the May 2014 National Gathering, we in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia held our first CTTT meeting in October 2014 at Eastern Mennonite University (EMU). Over time, it became clear that the rural nature of our region would be better suited to having two groups.

This “North Shenandoah Valley” chapter now meets monthly in Front Royal, Virginia, and another group meets in Harrisonburg. In our meetings, we use the circle process to get to know each other, hear each other’s stories, and discuss activities we want to undertake. Our process is organic. Different members volunteer to take on tasks, while as co-chairs two of us, an African American and a European American, take the primary responsibility of leading meetings, taking notes, sending emails, and planning events the group has decided to undertake.

We welcome guests and new members to our monthly meetings in Front Royal.
